In this research, a novel Cu2O/ZnO-PANI ternary nanocomposite was synthesized via a facile one-pot solvothermal method and in-situ polymerization of aniline at room temperature. The ternary composite Cu2O/ZnO-PANI having Z-scheme heterojunction properties displayed outstanding adsorption properties,...
